My macbook air M2 restarts (Panic)

My macbook air M2 restarts when going in to screen saver or mode. When I come back to it, all work is lost and open windows closed. The Mac is back to the login screen. I have tried turning of all of the battery and screen saving settings in Sys Preferences, I booted in safe mode and also did a diagnostic it shows no hardware issue but the problem still remains.

MacBook Air, macOS 15.6

unplug all non-essential peripherals when testing

Does the issue occur in Safe Mode, which disables 3rd party extensions? If not, then it's likely due to one of those.


It would be helpful to download and run EtreCheck, an app written by a Community member. It does not change any settings or report any personal information. If you post the full report (using the Additional Text option at the bottom of the post window), it can help with diagnosis.
